The Secretaries replied as follows: Jurisdiction. Reply. Reply. Alabama 18 cubits. Louisiana No reply. Arizona No reply. Maine 35 cubits Arkansas 18 cubits. Manitoba California 35 Maryland: Matter we do not Connecticut: 18, or 35 for the present. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
